Halle Berry Says She Broke Her Ribs Filming MMA Movie

By IVAN THOMAS-HICKS

There is no need for a stunt double for Halle Berry! In her upcoming Netflix film Bruised, the Oscar-winning actress shared that she suffered a significant injury while filming. 

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Berry shared that she broke two ribs on the very first day while filming the movie portraying MMA fighter Jackie Justice. 

“I told the director about it, they told the insurance [company]. We had to shut down for months and it was a big ordeal,” Berry said. “Because it was an independent movie, we didn’t have a big budget. The director in me said, ‘I didn’t come this far and work this hard to go home.’”

The stunt coordinator for the film, Eric Brown, explained that the Hollywood star’s injury was huge.
